HE stands for Higher Education, i.e you get an apple discount if your in some form of higher education. you don't buy HE its not a membership thingy.

Chances are if your in school or Uni they you can get the items on using the HE discounted price or you could do what most peopleon here do and blag the phone conversation when ordering and hope they don't follow up with a check.

Yes i know, i meant , how much discount do you get?

Often not a lot, just say your at such and such uni mention location address, course your on etc, and say your been told you qualify for a HE discount. tell them what you want to buy and the HE price and 9/10 thats it, but some people have been know to get someone who will do a check on your details to confirm your at the uni but not very often as all their interested in is making a sale.

I phoned earlier today to put my order through. The guy I spoke to asked for the name of the uni and it's location and that was it. I then went through what I wanted and after I had gave him my card details he mentioned sending a copy of my student ID card to him. I said yeah, but I think they have to ask that to cover themselves. I've since had an email confirming my order as well as est ship and delivery dates, so I'm guess its gone through

Could someone post the current price of the 3 mac books with HE? I`m visiting the states soon and need to know whether to grab one while im there or to just use HE here.

Got it been speaking to Angela an apple expert on the chat thing on apple.com.uk who has done it for me

I said i was at Uni on the Chat thing( I am not btw) and she said she will knock a quote up, sent me a link to a basket with everything on, and said you can buy it now with any credit card/ debit . no checks about if i am at uni or anything!

Nope.

Can someone run this through the HE discount please so I can see what it'll come to.

Thanks Justin, a good saving there, I shall start loading the piggy bank

Feek · 21 Jul 2008 at 21:00

Just wondering, would I be able to call them and buy a "Mac Pro for my son who is at Uni" with discount?

You would need Uni Numbers or proof of acceptance to a Uni i think.

They will probs check up on you

muon · 21 Jul 2008 at 22:54

Dont most unis allow alumni to use libraries and stuff? If people really need to use the discount, you can go to the LSE library in london (also the British Library of Political and Economic Science) enter as a visitor and youll have a uni IP address

.

I'd imagine the same thing is possible with everyone's local university library.

Kristoph · 21 Jul 2008 at 23:15

Hmmmm, I'm guessing these macbooks are probably affected by the 8600/8400 GPU problem?

Davey Dave · 22 Jul 2008 at 10:48

Macbook Pros - possibly. Macbooks - no, they have an integrated Intel GPU.

Viper² · 29 Jul 2008 at 12:24

Are the MBP's still the same HE price as on page 1 of this thread?
